Lycanthrope (She​-​Wolf) - featuring Shakira

from Europop: The American Way by SaviorSelf.07.05.98

about

Originally intended to be an entirely new song merely using the sample of Shakira singing "This is Lycanthropy", I ultimately decided to turn this into an industrial revision of Shakira's "She Wolf" entirely, thus the title "Lycanthrope (She Wolf)". You could call this a remix, but I honestly believe doing so would completely miss the point of what I was able to do here. I feel that I was able to transform this commercial pop song about a sexually predatory woman into a dark, aggressive industrial track about a woman turning into a ravenous monster, bringing a new horror to Shakira's lyrics that simply doesn't exist as "She Wolf".

Plus, I only used maybe 1/4 of the total song. It's hard for me, in good conscious, to call this a pure remix knowing that I only sampled about a quarter of the song, total, and added it to an entirely new track.

lyrics

A domesticated girl
that's all you ask of me,
Darling it is no joke,
this is lycanthropy... this is lycanthropy... this is lycanthropy...

Darling it is no joke,
this is lycanthropy...

Sitting across the bar,
staring right at her prey,
It's going well so far,
she's gonna get her way
A domesticated girl
that's all you ask of me,
Darling it is no joke,
this is lycanthropy...

Darling it is no joke,
this is lycanthropy...

Sitting across the bar,
staring right at her prey,
It's going well so far,
she's gonna get her way
A domesticated girl
that's all you ask of me,
Darling it is no joke,
this is lycanthropy...

There's a she wolf in the closet,
Open up and set her free
There's a she wolf in the closet,
Let it out so it can breathe
(Let it out so it can breathe)

There's a she wolf in the closet,
Open up and set her free
There's a she wolf in the closet,
Let it out so it can breathe
(Let it out so it can breathe)

Darling it is no joke,
this is lycanthropy...

Sitting across the bar,
staring right at her prey,
It's going well so far,
she's gonna get her way
A domesticated girl
that's all you ask of me,
Darling it is no joke,
this is lycanthropy...

Darling it is no joke,
this is lycanthropy...

Sitting across the bar,
staring right at her prey,
It's going well so far,
she's gonna get her way
A domesticated girl
that's all you ask of me,
Darling it is no joke,
this is lycanthropy... this is lycanthropy... this is lycanthropy...

There's a she wolf in the closet,
Open up and set her free
There's a she wolf in the closet,
Let it out so it can breathe
(Let it out so it can breathe)

There's a she wolf in the closet,
Open up and set her free
There's a she wolf in the closet,
Let it out so it can breathe
(Let it out so it can breathe)
